Could you be Cambridge University’s first Doctor of chocolate?

Did last week’s A-Level results leave you with more questions than answers?

Were your grades not good enough for higher education? Maybe you didn’t get into your first choice university? And if you did, perhaps that degree in Sports Science isn’t for you?

If decisions about the future are leaving your tired mind in a muddle, then look no further – because your destiny could lie at Cambridge University.

Unless you don’t like chocolate, in which case there’s no hope for you anyway.

The university is seeking a researcher for a PhD on chocolate, who will be a part of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.

As you probably noticed, the course is for PhD students, so certain qualifications are needed to apply.

Sadly, a long history of polishing off family-size Galaxy bars in front of Gossip Girl won’t count as credentials. You’ll need to have four years of undergraduate study in a scientific field under your belt instead.

The selected candidate will be tasked with stopping chocolate melting in warm climates by studying the ‘fundamentals of heat-stable chocolate.’

The course will ‘investigate the factors which allow chocolate…to remain solid and retain qualities sought by consumers when it is stored and sold in warm climates.’

So even if you can eat an entire Toblerone in one sitting and taste the difference between blue and red M&Ms, you might not be qualified for this particular course. Keep hunting.
